Jameel Institute’s @anne-cori.bsky.social co-organizing with #WHOPandemicHub a roundtable at this historic conference. Hoping that the international community unites at least around the threat of infectious diseases, even when unity on war and peace is elusive.

Interesting perspective from industry back to the upside of working in academia: the privilege of being surrounded by colleagues who are super bright and super thoughtful and creative and thinking about how to change the world in their own unique way.
